41 Yr Old Mom of Twins, 9 Yr Wait for TT, Lipo of Hips and Flanks - Reston, VA

after giving birth to twins in 2006, I've struggled to keep my belly flat. No matter how many hours at the gym, the loose skin from gaining over 60 lbs pregnant was not going away with exercise. I searched several doctors over the last 3 years and decide to take the plunge. I had my classic tummy tuck with muscle repair from severe Diastases Recti, and opted for Lipo of the hips and flanks on Dec 18.

I arrived at my surgeons office and my doctor drew all over me. My blood pressure was really high and I was very nervous but I knew I had wanted this and been waiting for this. I walked into the operating room and hopped up on the table and the anesthesiologist started chatting with me and next thing I knew I woke up and it was all over.
The 20 minute ride home was a blur and coming in my house was quite a challenge. The first night was pretty difficult but I was very thankful for my husband and the meds, and the rented recliner.

Day 1 : my first night was difficult. I somehow managed to get to the dr in the morning with the help of my husband and a walker.,Day 1 post op my dr said all looked great and he was pleased with my results. I still can't believe I actually did it.
